Actio, IKEA and RILA in Orlando September 30, 2013

Orlando, FL -- Actio Corporation, leading provider of risk assessment and compliance solutions for companies with a global supply chain, has announced participation in an important global event held this year in Orlando, Florida: the Retail Sustainability Conference.

This exclusive event is hosted by RILA, Retail Industry Leaders Association. Actio’s offering will focus on the issue of risk management, specifically on how technology supports strategies for compliance with the SEC Dodd-Frank rule on conflict minerals. Actio is also poised to address compliance with pending conflict mineral restrictions in other parts of the world, such as Europe and Canada.

Retail Sustainability Conference

It's not every job that allows you to make a difference in your company, your community, and your industry. Working toward a more sustainable company – and industry – is one of them.

Industry leaders will challenge and inspire you. Hear keynote speaker Mike Ward, president of IKEA USA, share his vision to use sustainability to drive innovation, transform the business, shape investments and unleash new opportunities.
